Zoosk asks users to reset passwords following mass leak | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

 

Online dating service Zoosk is urging some of its users to change their passwords following the leaking of a list of some 29 million passwords that seemingly contains theirs.


According to password expert Jeremi Gosney, who cracked over 90 percent of the leaked MD5 hashes (which were, unfortunately, not salted), nearly 3,000 contained the word "zoosk" in a variety of predictable combinations such as "logmein2zoosk" and "ilovezoosk".
